Log files not persisted on container restart

[Erasure5959]

Welcome!

• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on the Traefik community forum and didn't find any.

What did you do?

The defined log files (traefik.log and access.log) on the host are wiped and start afresh when the container is restarted. This behaviour seems to be specific to v3 as it does not seem to be present on v2 with the same configuration.

What did you see instead?

Logs should remain if the container restarts - file should be appended.

What version of Traefik are you using?

Version: 3.0.0
Codename: beaufort

Hello @Erasure5959 ,

Thank you for your interest in Traefik.

I have submitted a PR that updates the behavior to be consistent with version 2.
